Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016135321A1] A method for handling a faired cable (1) using a fairing (2), said cable being towed by a vessel (100) on-board which is installed a winch (5) for winding up and unwinding the faired cable (1) through a guide device (4) for guiding the faired cable, the method comprising: - a first step (10) of monitoring the cable (1), in order to detect whether the fairing (2) has undergone a double twist around the cable comprising a complete submerged twist and a complete airborne twist, - and, when a double twist is detected, a first step (11) of hoisting the faired cable (1) during which the faired cable (1) is hoisted, the first hoisting step (11) being implemented in such a way that the complete submerged twist at least partially exits the water and does not enter the guide device (4).
